Sorry about your losses. But shrimping is really fun, and it's great of you to get back on the horse!

The shrimpfarm website has them really expensive though. 25$ each ouch. Check out eBay or aquabid I know they have them there. I just saw 10 for 60$ shipped.

I do believe alpha pro breeders sell OEBT's. Might wanna check

Does ANYONE have them available right now? They're supposed to be for part of a Christmas gift but my supplier apparently underestimated demand and is out.

I'm not looking for reds, brunettes, blondes, or BTOE, just a nice range of colored up OEBT.

I believe it is one of the trace minerals that they add to the food that account for the blue coloration, but I forget what.

Other causes could be pH is too low, OEBT like a slightly higher pH than other Card. shrimp.

Might also be stress from ammonia or temperature.

I assume you mean Caridina and nor Cardinal. Anyways, OEBT like neutral water while Bees like slight acidic (6-6.8?) water.
